EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a young and relaxed Prince George, later known as King George V, during his time in Japan in 1881. The future monarch, then a Duke, is seen with a dragon tattoo on his upper arm, a popular design during the Japanese tattoo craze of the late 19th century. The tattoo, in blue and red, was a common choice among sailors and military personnel, including those in the ward-room, gun-room, and lower deck of the British Navy. Prince George's visit to Japan came during a time when the country was opening up to the Western world, and the young prince was fascinated by the rich culture and traditions he encountered. This image, which was featured in an article at the time of his marriage to Princess May of Teck in 1893, offers a glimpse into the prince's youthful adventures and his appreciation for the unique customs of Japan. The photograph shows Prince George in a casual setting, sitting on a toilet lid while reading a book. The tattoo artist, out of frame, would have skillfully inked the dragon design onto the prince's arm, adding to the growing trend of body art among the British elite. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the young prince's adventurous spirit and his connection to the vibrant culture of Japan during the 1880s.
